In all the years I’ve been here I had yet to do a session among the cherry blossoms at Red Wing Park. We had so much fun making little “R” squeal with the raining blossoms. And I adore her blonde curls.

Monday, May 20th, 2013A Beach Vacation | Virginia Beach Family Photographer
Wednesday, July 25th, 2012They were here for just a short stay. I had such a wonderful time with them on them on the beach though. It was one of our crazy weather days where every forecast is calling for rain and then it clears at the last minute. We had the most amazing overcast light for their session.

Monday, April 2nd, 2012This vision started with a mirror. A friend’s mirror that I kindly asked her to trek through the mud with it. She brought along her great-grandmother’s umbrella and I squealed when I looked at this test frame…
And then we let the girls have fun in a field with gorgeous golden light.

Sweet Baby Girl and a Field of Light | Virginia Beach Children’s Photographer
Sunday, February 26th, 2012I just realized that I have never shared this child portrait session with my gorgeous niece. You’ve likely seen a few of these pictures but I love stepping away from a session and returning to it with a fresh pair of eyes. Some of these I had yet to edit until now. The dress was handmade by my Mom. I have a few that she has made for me if anyone has a little girl and wants to use one for your session! I miss you baby girl!
The O Family | Virginia Beach Family Vacation Photographer
Saturday, August 20th, 2011A dancer and a girl who loves to dress up. What more could a photographer ask for?! I met this vacationing family between the rainstorms at an inlet beach. I still can’t get over how beautiful they are together. I wanted to be sure to capture the girls as their momma remembers them… at this moment, at this age. I loved that the girls changed. E so she could dance on the beach and O so she could prance and curtsey, and dig in the sand.

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011If you follow my facebook page, I’ve been searching high and low for an example of custom portrait wallpaper. I am just dying to have a client let me wallpaper an accent wall in a playroom with a simple black and white portrait. Well, I finally found one! (Still working on the client ) Laura Novak is a huge inspiration for me and when I saw what she had done in this room, I fell in love with her work even more.

Sometimes your portraits don’t have to be on a big scale to make a grand statement in your home. I love this foyer/entryway idea featured in Southern Living. When you have this many small pictures, tying them together with one cohesive theme will give your home character and depth. In this case they were all done in black and white. The last thing you want is your home to look like your college dorm room with pictures of friends pinned to the walls. I was blown away when I read that these prints were copied onto wooden plates! Yes, they aren’t even regular prints pinned to the walls! So, I had to find out more and found this video on how to transfer prints onto wood. (The 2nd half of the video is where you will be amazed.) Did you know that could be done?! I’m eager to try out this process for myself.
A Beach Vacation | Virginia Beach & Sandbridge Photographer
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011I met this vacationing family for an early morning session at Sandbridge beach. A horseshoe crab shell intrigued the little ones and I had such a fun time teaching little “A” how to run from the waves. Thank you to this wonderful family for allowing me to capture a portion of your stay. Here is a quick sneak peek for you while you enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011I was so excited to come across this weeks featured inspired wall gallery. I have a similar wall in my entryway that I would love to do this too! Kate at Centsational Girl has a completely awesome DIY project that adds storage and a functional gallery ledge and wall to display your family portraits.
And to think she started with this all too familiar looking wall!
Thinking of taking on this project for yourself? You can find her detailed directions here!
